Jardine to Hang June 16th
Vanatono gets Life Irnprisonmcnt.
Edward Jardine was found guilty
f Lizzie
of the murder o Anderson,
to a lonely spot near the Fair grounds,
Goderiou, ou Sept. zoth. and was sen-
tenced'by Chief Justice Fslcoubridge to
be hanged on the Ate of June.
The court was crowded when the trial
was re -opened and almost immediately
L. E. Dancey, the prisoner's counsel,
began his address to the jury. He de-
clared that there was -not a tittle of evi-
dence on which to base a conviction, ex-
cept the prisioner's confession to Dr,
Smith. There was he contended, no
reason or motive for the commission of
this act. Yet the indictment charges -
"malice aforethought." "If you find
there is nu malice. you will be quite ins -
lifted in finding him guilty on account of
the insanity, and to my mind that is the
proper verdict in this case," he said.
"Physiciaus for the defence and also
Dr. Garrow, a crown witness, gave the
opinion that at the time of the crime the
man, being a sexual pervert, would not '
have knowledge of the quality of his act.
You have witnessed the conduct of the
prisoner in the box, the most uninterest-
ed man in court tieparently.
Onr hospitals and asylums are full of
such as he. Can you decide for capital,
punishment in his ease 3"
Mr. Dancey spoke for ss minutes and
was followed by Mr. Blaekstock, who
spoke for an hour. The case' went to
the jury at noon. Friday court re -open-
ed at 5.15, the jurymen were in their
places. -
"Gentlemen of the jury have you
agreed on a verdict?" asked the clerk,
"We have."
"What is it ?"
"We find the prisoner guilty," said
Foreman Andrew,
Jardine was then ordered to stand up,
When asked if he badranything to say
why sentence should licit' be passed, he
i eplied "No." -
Chief Justice Falconbridge in- sentenc-
ing the prisoner, declared that' there
was not the slightest hope that- the sen-
tence would be commuted. '.
"I would recommend you to spend the
remaining days left you on earth in
preparation of the judg meat of , the
world to come.
At 'Ph ursday 's sitting Dr. Bruce Smith
told in the box the story of Jardine's
confession following a series of questions s.
put to the prisoner.
